Giuseppe Mazzini is an outdoor bronze bust of Giuseppe Mazzini by Giovanni Turini, overlooking Sheep Meadow in Central Park in Manhattan, New York. The sculpture was commissioned by a group of Italian-americans and was dedicated in 1878 with a speech by american Poet William Cullen Bryant . It sits on a granite pedestal, which includes two inscriptions that translate to 'thought and action' and 'God and the people'. In 1994, the bust was restored by the Central Park Conservancy
